a Vornado allows you to turn the thermostat up without sacricing comfort.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

English

HOW TO USE YOUR VORNADO

GETTING STARTED

Position your air circulator so the

beam of air has an unobstructed path

from one side of the room to the other.

Set speed to medium or low and

allow a few minutes for an airow

pattern to be established. (Different

airow patterns can be established

by changing the location, angle and

speed of the air circulator.)

Adjust the speed accordingly until

a desired comfort level is achieved.

Once you discover the added

comfort of air circulation, you will use

your Vornado air circulator season

after season.

CIRCULATE THE COOL OR WARM AIR IN YOUR HOME ALL YEAR LONG.

KEEP IT CLEAN WITH THE VORNADO STORAGE BAG.

washer and pull the fan blade straight out from the shaft.

To reinstall, push the blade all the way on the shaft until it bottoms

out. The blade can only go on the shaft one way. Do not use

a hammer as this could result in bearing damage. Replace the

washer, nut and press the blade cap into place.

English

WARNING: To avoid risk of re, electrical shock or injury to persons, unplug the
